Cranfield Alumni Data Protection Statement

Cranfield Alumni Data Protection Statement

All information is held securely on the University’s alumni database and will be treated confidentially and with respect in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.  Unless you tell us otherwise, the data may be used for a range of University-led activities, including alumni events and other activities which may be of interest to alumni, fundraising programmes, promotion of Cranfield University courses and other activities, and promotion of benefits that we secure on your behalf. Some of these may involve direct marketing.

We will collect information from you through Cranfield Alumni Online, supplementing it with our own student records from when you were here.  You may at any time ask us to remove or amend your personal information, or see a copy of what we hold.

No personal data will be disclosed to any external organisations without your express permission, except under the following circumstances:

  • Statutory reporting requirements placed on the University by the UK government and/or any of its agencies (including but not limited to the Higher Education Survey Agency (HESA) and the UK Border Agency).
  • Requests from employers or education institutions for confirmation of award attainment while you were at Cranfield University, and where the University has taken reasonable steps to ensure their validity.  In such circumstances, we will only provide confirmation of details provided to us by the third party, and will be limited to your name, your date of birth, your dates of study, your academic achievements and your date of graduation.
